Elliot Has The Personality Of An Ed Sheeran Song

MARCH & APRIL 2025 FIC RECOMMENDATIONS — STARDEW VALLEY

NOTES: I barely read anything in March so I decided to combine both months. Tryna get into rarepairs more but I keep going back to Sambastian 😔 Also, please let me know if you’d rather me not @ you if I did!

USE — LamplightEyes, @lamplighteyes

[Sam/Shane, Drug Use, Alcohol Abuse, Internalized Homophobia, Referenced Self-Harm, Suicidal Thoughts]

Samson. Sweet Sam. Perpetual doormat. Certified ray of sunshine. People pleaser extraordinaire. Kind and patient and gentle to a fault. And it was exactly what would get him hurt.

WHEN IN ROME — amalgamates

[Sebastian/Sam, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, Eventual Smut & Romance, Angst, Drug Use, Possibly Unrequited Love]

“Seb.” He'd been caught. Sebastian turned his head to face the source of the voice, blood frozen in his veins. “We couldn't change your mind, huh?” Sam asked with a warm, tired smile. “No.” Sebastian looked away, unable to stomach the guilt Sam's expression stirred up within him. “Sorry.” “Okay,” Sam replied, breezy as ever. “Then I'm coming with you.”

TROUBLESHOOTING — greatdistractions

[Elliott/Sebastian, Mystery, Angst with a Happy Ending, Stalking, Death Threats, not as heavy as tags make it seem]

Elliott's first book is about to come out! He should be celebrating, not worrying about the anonymous stranger sending him death threats. Cybersecurity is outside of Sebastian's usual work, but he can't just let the poor guy suffer. There has to be something he can do.

TIME AFTER TIME — Annetastic, @annetastic1981a

[Sebastian/Sam, Friends to Lovers, Aged Up Character(s), Eventual Smut, Infidelity, Divorce, Unplanned Pregnancy]

Sebastian has been in love with Sam for years, but life has conspired against him pursuing a relationship with his best friend. One day Sam calls him in the midst of a divorce and Sebastian offers him a place to stay. And they were roommates...

YOU GOT ME, TOO — softwisp, @realmalewife

[Sebastian/Sam, Sequel, Smut, Sex Work, Kink Discovery, Established Relationship, Dom/Sub Undertones, Voice Acting]

Sam makes a pathetic noise that sounds close to a whimper, and his words jumble together in a string, “Whatdidyoumeanbylivecollabs?”

BIG DEAL — fluffy_waffle

[Alex/Shane, Getting Together, Kink Discovery, Feeding Kink, Slow Burn, Secret Relationship, Implied Homophobia, Insecurity]

Alex and Shane aren’t dating — they just live in a small town and there’s not much else to do over the winter. And Shane is totally unloveable, obviously. And Alex just wants to experiment with guys, especially one who’s a hundred pounds heavier than he is. So they’re definitely not dating, and it’s definitely not a big deal.

FLUFF ALPHABET W/ SAM — STARDEW VALLEY

SUMMARY: The Fluff Alphabet by @snk-warriors featuring Sam!

CONTAINS: sfw, gn! reader, fluff, established relationship

NOTES: My second favorite bachelor, I love this fcking guy <3

A = Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Sam really enjoys playing the guitar for you! And if you play too, even better! He loves having jam sessions together.

B = Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Sam loves your lips and eyes. He loves that your eyes can be so cute or so seductive, and that your lips always look so kissable.

C = Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Hugging is Sam’s go-to for comforting someone. He’s a very good hugger. He’ll hold you close and let you hide in his chest. He’s not always good with words so he’ll take to petting your head while reminding you that you’re okay and safe.

D = Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

He likes the idea of being your rocker boyfriend/husband; having you along for the ride as he tours or in the studio when recording a new song. After that, he’s sure he wants to be a dad and raise a family with you!

E = Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

He’s neither dominant nor passive. He respects you and your work and hopes you do as well! He never wants to intrude on your work and he’ll only help if you ask him to.

F = Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

He hates arguing. He avoids it at all costs. If you start arguing, he’ll roll over like a dog and apologize, saying he was wrong (even if he wasn’t—something he’s working on). After you’ve had some space from each other, he’s the first to apologize, coming up behind you with a hug and kissing your neck and shoulders. Try as you might, it’s so hard to stay mad at him!

G = Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

It’s not something he dwells on too often. Not that he isn’t grateful—he is!—but the thought doesn’t really cross his mind. When he does, he gets a big, goofy grin on his face when he thinks about all the ways he’s grateful for you and your life together. He feels like the people in his life don’t take him seriously, except you and he’s grateful for that.

H = Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Sam is a very honest person! He’s always had trouble lying to his mother. He doesn’t really do anything worth lying about either and he’s very open. He’s likely to forget to tell you about something but he’d never keep anything from you intentionally, unless he thought it was in your best interest that he did.

I = Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

You’ve both changed each other in different ways! Sam has taught you to have more patience and you’ve helped Sam to be more organized. You’ve helped people to see that he’s not an immature kid anymore but a responsible young man with a sense of humor.

J = Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He rarely ever gets jealous—he trusts you with his whole being! But if he does, he doesn’t get mad or anything but he starts getting really clingy and physically affectionate. More than usual.

K = Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

He was ready to kiss you the minute you entered your relationship. While he is a good kisser, he is also sloppy. Your first kiss together was a little intense because he kissed you like a man starved. It wasn’t planned either so he definitely tasted like pizza or cola.

L = Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Like any desirable man, he sneaks you through his bedroom window and hides you from the prying eyes of his mother.

M = Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Sam doesn’t feel one way about marriage. He’d be happy as your boyfriend or as your husband! But if he were to… he’ll initially want to propose to you on stage at one of his concerts. Luckily, his friends talk him out of that, saying that could put pressure on you to say ‘yes’, or you saying ‘no’ could be humiliating for you both. He asks his parents for advice; Kent suggesting somewhere sentimental and Jodi suggesting somewhere romantic. He ends up not being able to contain his excitement long enough to go through with any plan. He proposes to you as you’re walking back to the farm one night. It actually proves to be perfect; the two of you alone, under the stars.

N = Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

Babe, baby, cutie, girly/pretty girl (if you’re a woman), mama/daddy (if you have children or are expecting). They’re basic and a little juvenile but you love them! He gets nervous when you don’t call him a nickname, assuming the worst lol.

O = On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

Sam is already a bubbly and optimistic person. But when he starts dating you, he can’t wipe the dopey smile off his face! He no longer dreads going into work (which Shane quickly picks up on), he practically slips through town, and he can’t keep his hands off of you. It’s obvious, to say the least.

P = PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He’s so excited to announce that you’re dating when you start! Definitely not shy to kiss or hug you in public. He’s physically affectionate with all of his friends though so unless he kisses you, an onlooker might assume you’re just friends.

Q = Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Sam is a very good listener! He’ll listen intently as you boast, complain, cry, or talk about nothing. He’s also very agreeable. Did someone piss you off? Yeah, they suck! Got cash-back and want to use for a getaway together? Sure, he’d love to spend some quality time with you!

R = Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He tries to be romantic but he’s a bit clumsy. He tries to make you your favorite food but messes up the recipe. Or he runs a bath for you with rose petals and scented oil but when you enter the bathroom, the tub has overflowed. It’s the thought that counts!

S = Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Absolutely! He’ll assist you in anyway you ask him to. He feels it’s only fair since you’ve helped him so much before with his band and defending him from his mother and Mayor Lewis.

T = Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Sam loves some thrill and adventure! He’s so happy being with you but he gets a bit antsy so every week, you two go out and do something new. Attend a local concert, eat at a different restaurant, go dancing—whatever strikes you interest!

U = Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He is very empathetic. He’s not very confrontational so while he will get mad on your behalf, he’s more inclined to feel sad when you are. He absolutely hates seeing you cry and might shed a few tears when you do (but he’ll never let you see).

V = Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

All of Sam’s relationships are very important to him! He wouldn’t think twice before sacrificing his stuff, or Yoba forbid, himself if it ever came down to it. He’s quite impulsive already so he definitely has before when it really wasn’t necessary. But it goes to show just how far he’s willing to go for you.

W = Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Sam teaches you how to skateboard, if you don’t know how to already! He makes you wear knee and elbow pads (partly for his own amusement). He’s so proud of you once you start to learn! He also offers to teach you how to play the guitar. You have little jam sessions together where he leads, while you’re still learning.

X = XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

If you didn’t already know how, Sam has taught you how to skateboard! He insists you wear knee and elbow pads (even though you hate how dorky they make you look, that’s part of the fun for him). He’ll also teach you how to play guitar if you don’t know how to either! He loves bonding with you this way and he’s always so excited when you get something right!

Y = Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

He’s kinda very clingy and hates to see you go! He texts you every so often to check in and remind you not to overwork yourself. Huge golden retriever vibes in the sense that he’ll greet you at the door, kissing your face and hugging you tight. Expect him to be all over you for a while after you come back.

Z = Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He’d do just about anything to prove himself to you. One way he does this is by learning your favorite songs and playing them on the guitar for you! He makes sure he gets them just right before he preforms. Sometimes, he offers to sing and play them softly to you as you fall asleep.

MY FAVORITE STARDEW VALLEY FICS — PART 1

NOTES: This is part 1 of what I’m sure will be a lot more lists of my favorites! Some of these fics have been included in my monthly recommendations. I’m literally always reading something if I’m not actually playing the game. But how do I tell people that I am an avid reader, just not in the traditional sense?

WILTING — devastating

[Sam/Sebastian, Angst, Mental Health Issues, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Breaking Up & Making Up, Hopeful Ending]

Sam breaks up with Sebastian, he tells himself that this is the healthiest thing that he could do for the two of them. He tells himself that he’s okay with the new life he’s built for himself. He tells himself a million and one things and yet he can’t make himself believe his own lies.

LOVE FROM THE OTHER SIDE — changeishard, @changeishard

[Elliott/Penny, Angst, Fluff, Smut, Romance, AU - Gods and Goddesses, Inspired by Ancient Greek Religion & Lore]

Sam was desperate. He knew his band, Goblin Destroyer, was good, but they haven't been able to get it off the ground yet. They had quit their day jobs to focus on this, and Sam felt like it was his responsibility to make them famous. So he would make a deal. He could part with his soul. It wasn't a huge price to pay for their success. Sam deserved it. Seb and Abby deserved it, too. But the devil wasn't interested in his soul. He wanted Sam's wife. Or, an AU where Elliott is a God who takes Penny to his realm as part of Sam's bargain.

YOU REALLY GOT ME — softwisp, @realmalewife

[Sam/Sebastian, Friends to Lovers, Masturbation, Drug Use, Anal Sex, Voice Actor Sebastian]

Sam has started losing his mind recently. He can’t tell what exactly it is, the shift in weather.. the time of year. Even the slightest breeze sets his skin aflame. It has nothing to do with his best friend. Even if his dark eyes and plump lips swarm his thoughts and dreams. He’s been lying awake at night, in a cold sweat, unable to sleep. His days start to blur together, he’s not acting like himself. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He needs to fix it. Maybe something online can help?

Sebastian is a spiky, cold loner who dislikes 99% of the people he meets. With the exception of his best friend Abigail, Seb doesn’t seem to care much at all about his peers. Distracting himself from his angst, Seb throws all of his energy into his secret job as a cam model, where he can find the praise and encouragement he needs from anonymous subscribers on the internet to keep him going. But it’s getting difficult to fight the burnout from working so much, and Seb is getting tired. To make matters worse, Abigail’s been hanging out with the one person Seb hates the most- the warm, talkative, and brash Sam.

CONTRAST & COLOR — Mouse_213, @the-mouse-wife

[Sam/Sebastian, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn, Fluff, Smut, Angst, AU - College/University, Drug Abuse, Toxic Relationships]

MORE, ENOUGH — kinkratonthestreets

[Sam/Sebastian, Domestic Fluff, Smut, Angst, Established Relationship, Weight Gain, Feedism, Belly Kink, Body Worship, Past Suicide Attempt]

Married life has been treating Sam and Sebastian well: they’re settling into the city, their careers are growing, and Sam’s made a lot of progress learning to cook real food for the two of them (as Sebastian can attest). They’ve got a good thing going. But when Sam gets back from going on tour, Sebastian’s looking exhausted and run-down, and Sam can tell he’s lost weight. What if he’s getting bad again?

IF I FELL — darningdreams

[Elliott/Sebastian, Future Fic, Angst, Slice of Life, Awkward Romance, Family Fluff, Happy Ending]

Ten years ago, someone came to fix up the old farm outside Pelican Town. She ran around handing out presents, attending festivals, and flirting with whomever seemed interested… which was most decidedly not Sebastian. He had Sam, after all, and the perfect pairing of sun and moon moved to Zuzu City not long after the farmer married the eccentric writer who lived on the beach. Now, Sebastian is making ends meet working at a coffee shop near the university district, thoroughly jaded by life and love. He only goes home for holidays when he knows Maru and his ex aren’t going to be there. The old farm sits empty again, re-abandoned after a few years. Sometimes he wonders what happened to the family that formed there as he drives back to his depressingly tiny apartment in Zuzu City. He never expected he’d actually find out, or find himself falling in love again.

When a tropical storm rolls through Pelican Town, it knocks out the power to every building, including Elliott’s cabin…though he only had one or two light switches in the first place. Problem is, the farmer had been visiting to ensure that he was set for the storm just before it hit. She’s stuck with him while it passes overnight, and she’s terrified of the dark. It’s up to Elliott to find ways to comfort her without stepping over any lines. He needs to be a gentleman. It’s what she deserves.

— PLEASE GO SUPPORT THESE AUTHORS!

I’m crying fanfiction is incredible

What's cool about the Stardew fandom is that when some people interpret the characters' birthdays to actual months, some people think the dates line up differently than others, so we get to celebrate their birthday's twice and that's pretty awesome

COLLECTION MASTERLIST — STARDEW VALLEY

— FLUFF ALPHABET

ELLIOTT | SAM | SEBASTIAN | HARVEY | SHANE | ALEX

I'm dying for this fluff alphabet with Sebastian 👀🥺

Yay, that makes me so happy to hear!! It’s in the works and I intend to have it out within the next few days but we’ll see! Thank you so much though for your support, it truly means a lot <33

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIIIIIIISSSS ^^

For @creatingblackcharacters Black History Month challenge, I decided to draw Demetrius and Maru from Stardew Valley, and focus on Demetrius being a good dad ♡ Here he is encouraging a young Maru to build her love of science!

Demetrius gets a lot of hate from the online fandom, and I think that's stupid and unfair. He has flaws, sure, but so do all the other characters. Every single human being who has ever lived has good and bad traits, good and bad days. It's not fair for Black gamers to have such limited representation in the first place, and then for fans to focus only on the flaws of the Black characters who do exist when everybody else gets the benefit of the doubt makes it even more wrong.

With this piece I want to tell my Black audience that it's an honor to learn by your side as a scientist. It's an honor to learn by your side as a human! As an organism! As this strange collection of cells we all find ourselves as on this insignificant speck hurtling through the vacuum of space at incomprehensible speeds. I'm glad to be human with you, bumps and all.

@violentbirds @bowlingalleycarpet maybe you guys would like to participate in this challenge too?

I think we need to start drawing the villagers in the least canonical way possible. Harvey as a gang member who vapes. Penny as a raging alcoholic. Elliott as one of those annoying inconsiderate TikTok boys. Shane as the most kind and chivalrous gentleman.

You know, something along those lines

Huge golden retriever vibes in the sense that he’ll greet you at the door, kissing your face and hugging you tight. Expect him to be all over you for a while after you come back.

Z = Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He’d do just about anything to prove himself to you. One way he does this is by learning your favorite songs and playing them on the guitar for you! He makes sure he gets them just right before he preforms. Sometimes, he offers to sing and play them softly to you as you fall asleep.
